Masturbating Too Much? Think Again! 3 Reasons Why MORE Masturbation May Be Better Than Less

Am I masturbating too much? How can I tell? How much is TOO much? Can too much masturbation reduce my sex drive, or lead to sexual dysfunction like ED, premature ejaculation or difficulty having an orgasm during “REAL” sex? Any of these questions sound familiar? The truth is, we get lots of questions from our readers (both men and women alike) about whether self gratification is healthy, and when (or if) there are signs we are getting too much of a good thing, too 🙂

Here are some simple facts about the benefits of masturbation that most men don’t know, yet are 100% true. (some of this applies to women, too – but for this article, we’re focusing mostly on our male readers)

How? By helping your body release small micro hits of cortisol. Cortisol is often thought of as a stress hormone, but it also serves a useful purpose in keeping your immune system ready, engaged and producing anti-bodies for staving off disease and sickness.

2. It also helps you increase your sexual stamina, and staying power as well.

Here is a fact. Done properly, especially in conjunction with male enhancement exercises, frequent masturbation can train your body to last longer, to increase your staying power and to reduce the hyper sexual sensitivity often associated with premature ejaculation. Men who climax too quickly often have very little control over our sensitivity response during sex, and are unable to come back from the edge of orgasm….once we get close. Learning to get comfortable with your body, and to know how to navigate the spaces around sexual pleasure, can be HUGE benefit to sexual skill with a partner, and something that is BEST learned by oneself as well.

3. Masturbation ALSO helps us understand our bodies better, and know what we REALLY like in bed to boot!

Don’t underestimate this. Knowing your body is key. Masturbation is a gateway to getting more comfortable with our bodies in a safe and private context, and can help teach you what you REALLY want when it comes to sex with a partner. (even if those things are NOT the sorts of things other men like, talk about or describe – to thine OWN self to be true 🙂

In our own articles, surveys and Q and A content with hundreds of thousands of readers over the last few years? Men who report masturbating at least 5 times a week are much more likely to also admit being much more sexually secure, much more self confident in bed, and much more attuned to knowing what our partners way, both in the bedroom…and beyond.
